The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
The project was developed as a medium tank for the Indian Army. The work on the project was carried out by Porsche, Daimler-Benz, and Zahnradfabrik AG of Friedrichshafen. However, the vehicle was deemed to be too complicated for production in India, and the project was canceled.
Before modification, it will mount the extremely inadequate 88mm L/56 gun, so a fast upgrade is a must. The "Indi Pz." is not as fast as the Panther II but it handles better and excels at the sniping role, taking down enemies from afar with superb accuracy. Furthermore, its sloped frontal armor can be surprisingly bouncy. The only major setbacks you may find are the rather long aiming time, sluggish acceleration and the paper-thin mantlet.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Sloped frontal hull armor
- Excellent gun depression
- Excellent penetration for a tier 8 medium
- Great accuracy
- Goodyear maneuverability
Cons:
- Sub-par acceleration
- Very weak gun mantlet
- Very long aiming time
- Low HP - even less than the T69
Performance
The Indien Panzer is a slightly different tank from the Panther II which is also tier 8. The more potent gun and higher maneuverability allow the Indien Panzer to play more along the lines of an actual medium tank instead of a sniper medium only. You can either Wolf pack with other medium tanks or snipe from the second line, supporting your team. Be aware though that your low acceleration means that most other mediums will leave you behind.
Early Research
Your starting gun is inadequate, and the upgrade should be researched early. Unfortunately you can't use the second gun or any equipment before upgrading the tracks. For another 4300 Xp however you can get the 9 cm gun already which is lighter and thus will allow you to use both the gun and equipment without having to get the tracks.

Historical Info
The Indian panzer competed with the British design, which the Indians eventually choose. Interestingly the Vickers tank was built entirely from welded rolled steel plates. According to some sources this feature was seen as an advantage by the Indian army, who wanted the tank to be license built in the country. Cast armor requires special foundry facilities, which were not available in India at the time the Vickers tank was developed. The Porsche design, on the contrary, had cast turret and much of the hull, so to build it in India might have been considered not impossible but surely quite difficult and expensive.
The project was rejected in the drawing phase, and no prototypes were ever built. The Indians eventually went for the Vickers MBT whose prototype was completed in 1963 and the tank entered service in 1965. The first 90 vehicles were built by Vickers in the UK, while production continued at the Heavy Vehicles Factory in Avadi. A total of 2,200 units under the name Vijayanta were built until 1983 when the production was stopped.
